L'Wren dikabarkan sedang terlilit hutang sebesar US$ 6 juta atau sekitar Rp 67,8 Miliar. Bulan Februari lalu, ia juga sempat batal merilis koleksi terbarunya di London Fashion Week secara mendadak karena tidak memiliki cukup uang untuk membayar para staf. Perusahannya, LS Fasion Limited, mulai memiliki hutang sejak 2009 dan semakin membengkak di tahun-tahun berikutnya.
'Semua orang mengira dia punya kehidupan sempurna tapi saat kau tau tentang kehidupan aslinya, jelas berbeda. Dia punya bisnis dengan banyak tekanan tapi uang tidak selalu mengalir dari sana.' Ujar salah satu sahabat L'Wren.
Sesaat setelah di temukan tewas, Jasadnya langsung dibawa ke kantor Medical Examiner untuk diautopsi. L'Wren di kabarkan masih bersama sahabatnya, Ellen Barkin di kamarnya itu sampai jam 2:45 pagi sebelum di temukan tewas.

Sempat beredar kabar, bahwa sebelum meninggal, Mick dan L'Wren di kabarkan sudah putus, namun hal ini di bantah oleh perwakilan Mick Jagger.
L'Wren sendiri berhubungan baik dengan mantan istri Mick, Bianca, serta anak-anak Mick, seperti Georgia May, mereka sering terlihat tampil bersama. L'Wren yang mulai berpacaran dengan Mick sejak 2001 itu mengawali karir nya sebagai model di usia 17 tahun, L'Wren yang bertubuh jangkung 191 cm itu lahir bernama Luann Bambrough. Karier nya sebagai seorang desainer terbilang sukses, banyak selebritis dunia yang menjadi langganannya, di antaranya Amy Adams, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Christina Hendricks, sampai Michelle Obama.
